Advanced Features of the Whistler XTR-190
Battery-operated with internal battery charger
The XTR-190 doesn't require car electricity to operate. It comes complete with three rechargeable batteries plus a power cord, and can simply be recharged when it's running low.
Patented VG-2 cloaking technologyPolice in many areas use "radar detector detectors," also known as RDD, which pick up the emissions of your radar detector and alert police to its use. VG-2 cloaking technology alerts you to the presence of VG-2 radar and helps alert you to the presence of a speed trap.
POP mode radar detection
POP mode is a form of police radar gun developed several years ago in an attempt to offer radar that would defeat detectors. The transmissions from POP mode radar are much faster than those from typical radars, and are emitted in short bursts rather than long signals like those from typical radar. The XTR-190 can detect even the quick signals of POP mode radar in your area, and alert you in plenty of time.
3 city modes and 1 highway mode
City mode helps reduce the interference and confusion that can be caused by things like automatic door openers, burglar alarm alerts, and other things that can cause your detector to react. While in city mode, the detector will provide an initial alert when signals are detected, and then remain quiet unless the signal strength increases. When and if the signal does increase, the unit will alert you again to notify you. This helps "weed out" other types of signals. In highway mode, the XTR-190 provides full audio and visual warning of all laser and radar signals and maintains full sensitivity at all times. Highway mode is the set default.
Quiet and Auto Quiet modes
Quiet Mode cancels audio during an alert for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, two beeps are provided on any new alert, and then the unit will remain quiet after that. Auto Quiet reduces the audio to level 1 approximately five seconds after a signal is detected.
